A Mile And A QuarterRecorded by Sonny JamesWritten by Carol Smith and Sonny James

C F C G7 CA mile and a quarter of treacherous water keeps men in Alcatraz

G7 CThree men did what folks have claimed for years could not be done G7 CThree men broke through prison walls and left there on the runF CTried to make a liar out of anyone who says G7 COnce you’re on the rock there’s no escape from Alcatraz

F C G7 CA mile and a quarter of treacherous water keeps men in Alcatraz F C G7 CA mile and a quarter of treacherous water keeps men in Alcatraz

G7 CThey dug holes with sharpened spoons and then one night these three G7 CClimbed a shaft a twelve foot fence and took a raft to seaF CNot the first to try but the first to almost get away G7 CFrom that fortress in the heart of San Francisco Bay

Repeat #2

G7 CTwo men tried in ‘37 and three in ‘38 G7 CThen again in ‘43 four convicts made a breakF CJumped a cliff into the cold swift water of the bay G7 CThree were caught and one was shot just as he swam away

G7 CThree men thought they had it made but traces have been found G7 CMemos at a rain soaked raft tell us these men were drownF CWhich just goes to prove it’s true what everybody says G7 COnce you’re on the rock there’s no escape from Alcatraz

Repeat #2
